Calendar bracelets and necklaces

Giuliana Rancic is well on her way to replacing Elisabeth and Reese in my book of favorites. She comes across as fun and funny and I love her sense of style.

Plus, she’s so far from a “lame girl” in her relationship with Bill, which I appreciate most of all.

While Rancic does many things I admire, her annual gift guide is one of my absolute favorite things on E! News (and the only gift guide I pay attention to as most are filled with a whole lot of cliche junk).

This weekend she talked about the calendar bracelets from dalla nonna.

I really love these things (although the pink one is pretty drab). The bracelet features dalla nonna’s signature calendar pendant. Each piece comes in sterling silver or 14k gold (with dimensions of about 1″ x 3/4″), strung on a 3 mm wide (faux) suede bracelet and accented with a sapphire in a color chosen by the wearer to commemorate any date.

The site suggests featuring her birthday, birth of a baby, graduation, engagement, anniversary, wedding.

They range from $125 to $375 (which does seem a little high since the suede is fake and the charm pretty small).

Oh Kristi, you crushed me! UGH… you heart Giuliana? That comes as such a surprise from someone as real and honest as yourself. I find her to be plastic and superficial, and her relationship with Bill seems to be lacking true love. I will agree with you on her sense of style though, and I kinda like the bracelets. I will explore the link regardless, and try to keep an open mind.

Check out – http://www.notjustanyoldday.com. Our Calendar Keys are a more affordable choice at $45.00. I launched my site in 2008. A year before the calendar necklace was introduced. “I’ve been told that imitation is the finest form of flattery”. Happy Holidays!

The Silver plated key at $45.00 comes with either a 30 inch ball chain or key ring – there is no additional charge for that.
If you are interested in the sterling silver pieces – either the calendar alone or the calendar key, let me know what kind of chain you want, and I am happy to locate it for you – my sterling supplier has thousands of designs to choose from.

hello. great gift idea. i’ve been looking for something special and personal for my girlfriend for a while and i think this is a great fit. (plus i love that you can send a gift card.) also, i’d like to add that the price is reasonable especially for gold (which is through the roof) and sapphires — and these are 100% metal (sterling silver and 14k gold) and sapphire not some cheap plated piece of jewelry (like the calendar key and the one from etsy). thanks for the great idea!

No need for mud slinging – just the facts. If you look through the entire site at http://www.notjustanyoldday.com, you will see that my original “signature” Calendar Keepsake charms were made in Sterling Silver. The original calendar charm and the Calendar keys are available in 14kt solid gold as well. The silver plated Calendar Keys were added this year so that there was an affordable option for people who can not afford sterling silver. I thought it would be a nice addition to my line since not everyone can afford to purchase the precious metal charms. The quality of all of my products is at a VERY high standard.
Matt, I’m sure you girlfriend would love what ever you decided to purchase for her. Enjoy the holidays!
